What We Considered in Choosing Materials: Properties

Of course, thorough research as to why these materials should be used is essential in a successful product. Therefore, here are the reasons as to why we chose our materials


1. Suction Fan:

Made of durable and lightweight materials, the suction fan efficiently draws mosquitoes towards the device without creating excessive noise or disturbance.

2. UV Light:

Utilizes a high-quality UV light source that emits wavelengths attractive to mosquitoes, effectively luring them towards the device for capture.

3. Humidifier Constructed from non-toxic, BPA-free materials:

the humidifier provides a steady release of moisture into the air, creating a comfortable environment while dispersing natural lemongrass and garlic oils for mosquito repellent action.

4. Lemongrass Oil:

Sourced from organic lemongrass plants, this essential oil is known for its pleasant aroma and natural insect repellent properties, helping to deter mosquitoes effectively.

5. Garlic Oil Extracted from garlic cloves:

this potent oil contains compounds that mosquitoes find repulsive, providing an additional layer of protection against mosquito bites.

6. Repellent Reservoir:

Crafted from food-grade materials, the water reservoir holds an ample amount of water to ensure continuous operation of the humidifier, contributing to a comfortable and mosquito-repellent environment.
